Default Has anyone replaced their spoiler

To the Limited Coupe auto deployed spoiler?

I was planning of trading my XFIREX for a brand new SRT-6 where I can get more power for the price of $8,000 after trade in. This is more practical than upgrading to Renntech, Kleemann or Evosport ($15,000 for 330 hp more) where you might lose your warranty. This process will give me 100 miles starting mileage, newer model, new wheels, more power and new warranty period since I have already incurred 24k miles in my XFIREX.

I love to keep the "boat tail" design which will be my priority to replace with the auto-deployed one after getting my new SRT-6 ride.

I have driven my 2004 Limited Crossfire to 145 mph and it don't seem to feel floating or unsteady at that speed. I have a 100 lb. speaker pods though in my trunk plus 2 amps in a metal rack.

Cyril,
Prior to buying my SRT I hated the fixed spoiler. Now that I have owned it for a few months it has grown on me. Buy the SRT, live with the spoiler for a while, and if you are really unhappy with it there are plenty of people out there willing to swap spoilers.
One thing is for certain, you will never grow tired of the amazing performance of the SRT.

Kevin

Agreed... The auto-deploy would cost more than it's worth to retrofit onto an SRT-6, just like the Renntech. The elongated spoiler gives increased downforce at the high speeds, and it just being there all the time will give a bit more than that "blingy" auto-deploy one anyway. I rather like the SRT-6 spoiler. It kind of takes away the bulbous look to the boattail rear end and makes it "flow" nicer in the rear. But, that's just my opinion... It's also one less thing to break down the line (the auto-deploy mechanism that is). Get the suspension/engine upgrade to SRT-6 and don't worry about bling. You won't regret it and there are some killer deals out there for remaining SRT-6's these days.

Cyril,
Not sure if this picture will show up or not, but if you go to the website below you can a picture of the blank switch that operates the spoiler on the limited. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the photo kjmurphy. Therefore, it can be done then without much modification in the interior except replacing the rear HUGE wing with the auto-deployed one!
